After a fun, campy first video bluntly paying homage to the satiric Pixar film Wall-E, Above & Beyond have released a second video to showcase the namesake single of their forthcoming album, “We Are All We Need”, this time giving a nod to the American classic Thelma & Louise. Tickets to their North American tour just went on sale today in most cities, except the as-yet-unannounced LA and NYC shows (details forthcoming). After a fantastic reception at New York’s Madison Square Garden this past month for their celebrated radio show Group Therapy, you can bet these tickets will be going like hotcakes…

I will never forget the first time I heard Shpongle perform: the sun was rising over the Baltimore waterfront during the last couple hours of Starscape and just as I was losing steam, a crowd was forming around the main stage. The combination of psychadelic trance, ambient music, and world sounds completely blew me away while their intricately built stage – aptly called Shpongletron – held me captivated for the full 90 minute set. Above is just a glimpse at the production of their first ever stage. Simon just announced a stacked spring tour to promote their new album “Museum of Consciousness” that includes a brand-new Sphongletron 3.0 stage set-up. A definite MUST-SEE if you can get yourself to any of their shows — see where Simon is touring at ShpongleMusic.com!

Update (11/11): Plans to host the next EDC: New York at Woodstock ’93 have been canceled. More details as they’re available; no word on where the festival will be held.

Update (8/19): After some sincere disappointment dancing on the smaller, paved grounds of CitiField, the latest leaks suggest Electric Daisy Carnival will be seriously changing things up for next year’s event: they’re moving to the grounds of the legendary Woodstock, for starters, and will offer camping options! More as it arrives…

Update (5/27): After selling out two days at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn in just minutes, Sensation has unsurprisingly announced its return this fall, addings stops in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Miami as well. Sign up to be a “Club Member” (free) and you’ll get priority access when tickets go on sale. Get your whites ready…

Ryan Raddon, aka Kaskade, reemerges with his amazing on and off-stage talent to produce the new single “Atmosphere”, and announce an accompanying 4-city tour of New York, LA, Chicago, and Miami! Limited presale begins at noon on June 5th, with general onsale to take place June 7th. You’ll wanna be early to this one… Check out a live copy of the new track below!

Seems the latest trend in the biz is to have your own theme song. Armin did it first for his ASOT 600 tour, and now the Swedish House Mafia brothers have devised one. Attached to this sweet preview comes a shockingly high-definition rendering of marbleized musical instruments being blown up… “We Came, We Rave, We Love” is slated for an official release later this spring.
